Electric Viking Youtube on the new Nio ET3, with comparison to the Model 3
He starts the video with: “the key question is. . . can this car save the company?”
According to the video, ET5 has:
- better styling / more interior and exterior colors
- wider and longer than M3
- M3P-like performance even on the low end model, since dual motors are standard on both
- Optional 700km battery swap for longer trips
- 3 minutes to swap battery
- “Nio House” - a social club
- built for top safety rating
- auto-pilot like driving assist
- 15% higher price than like-for-like Tesla
- Nio doEd not make the type of profit margin that Tesla makes
He does not talk about all the downsides to battery-swapping discussed at length on this forum. I think the reason is to get Nio fans to like the video and to subscribe to his channel, then perhaps later he will convert them over to buy a Tesla or some $TSLA instead.
